"My home is at No. 22, Baolu Lane, East Gate of Liang City. Tell my wife, under the bed, in the third pickled vegetable jar layer, there are two small goldfish. Use them sparingly, they should last until Bao grows up."<br>A middle-aged man with a face full of acne whispered his last words to Leo Blaze, trying to suppress his fear.<br>This was today's herbal activator sent to the elixir room. Leo Blaze could do nothing about it, only remember these last words in his heart.<br>Watching the trembling man walk into the elixir refining room, Leo Blaze turned to leave, somewhat agitated as he walked back.<br>This was already the eighth person. As time passed, the number of people in the material room was constantly decreasing. What made him feel even more painful was that he seemed to have gotten used to it, and the guilt of sending people to their deaths was gradually diminishing.<br>He was being assimilated by Master Dan, a despicable person, and he didn't want that.<br>Leo Blaze desperately wanted to escape this extremely torturous situation. He was searching for a solution, but it wasn't easy to find. Merely relying on himself and some disabled people in the material room, it was almost impossible to deal with the mysterious Master Dan.<br>The only things he knew were that "Mr. You," controlled by Master Dan, was nonexistent during the first and fifteenth of each month, and Master Dan was illiterate, with someone in Breezy Haven helping him read the mystical texts.<br>"Should I go to Master Dan's residence, find that person, and kill him? Only I know how to read in the cave, so Master Dan can only rely on me for translation! By then, killing Master Dan should be a piece of cake, right?"<br>This thought just sprang up in his mind, but Leo Blaze quickly dismissed it.<br>Although he knew where Master Dan's cave was, he didn't know what traps were inside, nor did he know the strength of the person helping Master Dan read the mystical texts. Rushing in recklessly might lead to his death without even knowing how.<br>"Poisoning his elixir materials? No, my elixir refining skills were taught by him, and acting unreasonably is a surefire way to die."<br>Leo Blaze walked, contemplating any new methods to deal with Master Dan.<br>At that moment, a gloomy young man in a Taoist robe and a scholar's cap approached from the opposite side. Leo Blaze knew him; he was Kent Zheng, an inner disciple of Master Dan.<br>Leo Blaze didn't know much about him except for occasionally meeting him during meals. Normally, Kent Zheng was nowhere to be seen.<br>Moreover, unlike Leo Blaze and other named disciples, Kent Zheng didn't have to worry about managing affairs within Breezy Haven. Leo Blaze had no idea what he was usually up to.<br>The two passed each other, and as Kent Zheng's shoulder lightly brushed against him, Leo Blaze felt like he hit a chunk of iron.<br>Kent Zheng suddenly stopped, turning to look at him with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Changming, you've been quite restless inside the Haven lately. Master is very amused by you."<br>Leo Blaze slightly frowned, glanced at him, and turned to leave without saying anything.<br>But he hadn't taken two steps when a sudden force pushed him, sending him stumbling forward.<br>Leo Blaze staggered a few steps, and it took him a while to regain his balance without falling flat.<br>"What? Changming, is this senior brother's words no longer effective?" Kent Zheng crossed his arms, took a step forward, and stood in front of Leo Blaze.<br>"Senior Brother Kent Zheng, I still need to help Master organize the elixir materials," Leo Blaze said calmly.<br>"Don't even try to use Master as leverage. When I accompanied Master while being hunted, you didn't even know where you were! Let me tell you, Changming, just do your work honestly, and better keep your mouth shut about other matters. Don't be so blind."<br>Kent Zheng's tone became more severe.<br>Leo Blaze wasn't angry. He stared at Kent Zheng in a daze, seemingly contemplating something. The other, indeed as Mystic Origin mentioned, had a bad temper. Didn't that mean he was impulsive?<br>"What? Cat got your tongue? Say something!"<br>The previously expressionless Leo Blaze came to life, a hint of mockery creeping into his tone.<br>"Master values me because of his plans. Even if Master tells me the secrets of immortality, it's his decision. How can Senior Brother Kent Zheng meddle in it?"<br>Kent Zheng was momentarily stunned, caught off guard by his audacity.<br>Once he snapped out of it, his face twisted in rage, and he formed a gesture with two fingers, like a small chisel, piercing Leo Blaze's left side through his robe.<br>"And you think you deserve it? Master hasn't told me the immortality practice either. Why would he tell you? What do you think you are? Brew remains!!"<br>The sharp pain nearly made Leo Blaze faint, but he started laughing instead, guessing correctly.<br>"Haha, maybe Master didn't tell you because your comprehension is low. Senior Brother Kent Zheng, cultivating immortality is about talent. If yours is lacking, don't let Master waste time on you."<br>These words seemed to touch Kent Zheng's raw nerve. He pulled out his fingers and stabbed Leo Blaze three more times. "You brew remains! You court death!!"<br>Amidst the intense pain, Leo Blaze's laughter grew louder. "Hahaha, come on, kill me. See what reaction Master will have when he learns of infighting among disciples."<br>As Leo Blaze's laughter turned from loud to manic, Kent Zheng kicked him against the wall. "Hmph! A reckless lunatic."<br>Leo Blaze lay on the ground for a long time before a pair of broad hands helped him up.<br>"Sigh, Junior Brother Changming, why don't you listen? Didn't I tell you to respect Kent Zheng? Why provoke him?"<br>The speaker was the affable Mystic Origin, the only person in Breezy Haven who Leo Blaze could talk to.<br>Holding his side, Leo Blaze replied through gritted teeth, "What? Can he kill me? Mr. You is watching from the side. If another disciple dies, the haven can't be sustained anymore."<br>"What Mr. You?" Mystic Origin looked puzzled.<br>Doesn't he know? A thought flashed through Leo Blaze's mind. Could it be that others don't know how Master monitors Breezy Haven?<br>Considering two inner disciples had died before, Leo Blaze realized these people might truly be unaware.<br>"Nothing, I'm just saying he doesn't dare to act."<br>"That's not the point. He's an inner disciple, you're a named disciple. While he might not dare kill you directly, giving you a hard time is as easy as pie for him."<br>"Haha, I have small feet; born to wear tight shoes."<br>While talking to Mystic Origin, Leo Blaze's eyes gleamed with amusement. Just now, Kent Zheng revealed a piece of information: even as an inner disciple, he still hadn't qualified to learn the immortality practice.<br>Master Dan trusts no one,<br>That's not the main point. The point is, when they made eye contact, Leo Blaze noticed the intense dissatisfaction in Kent Zheng's eyes when he mentioned learning the immortality practice.<br>Master Dan's disciples could not be wholeheartedly loyal. <br>This could be a point of leverage. He wanted to give it a try.)
